I'm still having a hard time understanding the use case. What kind of 
content are the users dealing with?

Some of this "custom schema" sort of stuff might be covered by the new 
metadqta support in ODF 1.2. There you can attach RDF statements to 
pretty much any content node, including a new generic field.

But a) as I said, I'm not sure of your use case, so it might not be 
relevant, and b) ODF 1.2 isn't yet implemented.
